Trivia

  • Dratini's prototype name was "Dragoon," meaning a European military unit, but was probably used as a play on the word "dragon," or as a combination of "dragon" and "lagoon."
  • Controversy in the episode where Dratini is introduced caused the episode to be banned from American audiences due to a character placing a gun in Ash's face (among a few others). Dratini and Dragonair have made appearances since, unlike Template:P2.
  • Dratini's Red, Blue, and Green sprites looked more like snakes or worms than dragons because of the stripes on its underbelly (which were removed in Yellow).
  • Dratini is the first Template:Type2 Pokémon by National Pokédex order. It is also the last Pokémon to have a Generation I type that is not shared with a Pokémon of a lower number.
  • Dratini and its evolutions share the same species name with Horsea and its evolutions and Salamence. They are all known as Dragon Pokémon.
  • In its Gold and Silver Template:Shiny2 sprites, it's shown to be a slightly darker blue. However in the newer games, its shiny form is pink.
    • Also, In its Generation III sprites its body is incorrectly colored purple, this was later corrected in its Diamond and Pearl sprites
  • Even though Dratini lives in water and can learn Water/Ice type moves, it is not a Water-type itself.

Origin

It appears to be based upon sea serpents or lóng, traditional Chinese dragons who bring good luck.

Name origin

Dratini's name appears to be a combination of dragon and teeny, meaning small. Despite this, it is fairly large for a Pokémon, being nearly six feet (1.8 meters) in length. Its Japanese name, a combination of miniature and 竜 ryū, dragon, has a similar meaning.

In other languages

  • German: Dratini
  • French: Minidraco - Comes from miniature and draco, which is Latin for "dragon".
  • Korean: 미뇽 Minyong
